Big Bear Choppers Cafe

Big Bear Choppers, from California, is a designer and manufacturer of unassembled motorcycles, located in the newly opened Medina Centralle. With plans to open a Cafe attached to the shop, Big Bear Choppers cafe is set to become Doha's first 'bikers cafe'.

Mado

This modern, funky Turkish restaurant currently open in Edzan Mall is set to open it's second brand on Porto Arabia in the coming months. But that's not it for Mado in Doha- they've got plans for 4 more across the city in the coming years!

Dean & David

Dean & David's mission is 'uncompromising freshness', redefining fast food – simple, modern and urban. They make their food from harvest-fresh and natural ingredients. Coming Soon to Porto Arabia on The Pearl-Qatar!

TGI Fridays

From burgers to steak and mocktails to tex-mex- TGI Fridays needs no introduction. Opening soon!

Ziryab Restaurant

Ziryab was a historical figure who inspired the Islamic Iberian Peninsula in the Medieval Islamic Period. He spent a lot of his life in Iraq... could this be a clue to The Pearl's latest offering?

LongHorn Steakhouse

Longhorn Steakhouse is an American casual dining restaurant chain with over 370 restaurants worldwide. Serving steak, ribs, seafood and more. Think 'Outback Steakhouse' (Lagoona Mall) and you'd be on the right lines- although we've got much higher hopes!

German Donner Kebab

Probably self-explanatory, but none the less- we've been unable to find out more information about this place! Don't worry- you'll be the first to know as soon as someone breaks the silence!

Nespresso

Ok, not technically a restaurant, but still an f&b outlet... and an exciting opening for The Pearl. Nespresso does 1 thing- coffee. Up until now its been notoriously hard to get the elusive Nespresso Pods for filling your coffee machine, so Nespresso opening on The Pearl is definitely a welcome one!

Mikys Deli

Opening close to Tower 31, Porto Arabia, Mikys Deli is a local mini market and grocery store to rival the monopoly Spinneys currently hold on The Pearl. There's already one in West Bay and it's very popular.

Harry Ramsden's

This well loved British Fish & Chips shop is set to open numerous outlets across Qatar in the coming years, starting with a location on The Pearl-Qatar. If you've tried Harry Ramsden's in the UK then you'll know why we're so excited for this one!

2. Riva @ Ananantara Banana Island Resort

With the opening of Anantara Banana Island Resort just around the corner, there are a handfull of new restaurants that are set to open on the island. Starting with Riva- an authentic Italian restaurant with a stunning balcony overlooking the arabian gulf. Sit outside on the Balcony overlooking luxury yachts in the marina, soaking up an Italian Riviera atmosphere whilst enjoying authentic homely lunches of delicious pastas, salads and paninis.

3. Harry Ramsdens, The Pearl-Qatar

OK it's not particularly a galmarous one, but if you've tasted real fish and chips the way it should be done then you'll never look back. Harry Ramsden's is a British institution and not one but 5 outlets are opening in Doha in the coming months!

4. Hilton Doha's Secret New Bar

Transforming one of the spaces upstairs in West Bay's Hilton Hotel, the staff are working hard to have this exciting new project open before the end of the year. With a terrific terrace looking out over the arabian gulf and a ginormous tapas menu, this new bar is expanding Doha's growing love for the outdoors.

5. The Brand New Belgian Cafe

Due to the massive succsess of The Belgian Cafe at the Intercontinenal Doha, the hotel has decided that a bigger, better location for the restaurant/bar is needed. Before the end of the year, The Belgian Cafe is due to move to a brand new building within the grounds of the Intercon, with a large outdoor terrace.

Hakkasan

A 2013 addittion to the Doha dining scene, Hakkasan has fast become 'the place to be seen' in Doha. London's take on fine Chinese cuisine, has proved a massive hit in Doha and is definitely one place to put on your posh frock and have a cocktail or two.

Opal by Gordon Ramsay

A very underated restaurant in our opinion, don't be fooled into thinking this is one of Chef Ramsay's $500 a head Chelsea restaurants; Opal is much more of a casual concept. Go on a weekend and it's buzzing with people in posh frocks, dressed to impress.

The Anvil Rooms

A 2013 addition to the Doha dining scene, The Anvil Rooms is a modern take on a classic New York Steakhouse. Housed in the Tornado Tower in West Bay, this is the perfect place to go for a quiet, sophisticated evening where girls won't look out of place in killer heels.

Jazz at Lincoln Center Doha

If you havent heard of Jazz at Lincoln Center, then you just need to Google it to find out what a big deal it is that we now have one right here in Doha. JALC is a famous New York Jazz Club, attracting the best dressed fashionistas in town. And the Doha branch is no exeption. Dress to impress you won't be dissapointed!

Strata

With possibly one of the best views in the whole of Doha, Strata is slap bang in the heart of buzzing West Bay. With a restaurant on the 55th floor and a chic bar on the 56th, this is one place to put on your best and hit the town.
